The Ankh Cross with Eye of Horus Pendant combines two symbols: the Ankh and the Eye of Horus. The ankh, also called the Key of Life or the Breath of Life, is an Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol that looks like a cross with a teardrop-shaped loop in place of a vertical upper bar. The eye of Horus is another ancient Egyptian religious symbol that looks like a stylized eye with distinctive markings underneath. Both symbols are used in modern day as symbols of African cultural identity, Neopagan belief systems, Coptic Christianity, and the goth subculture. The combination of the two signs symbolizes mortal existence, the afterlife, well-being, healing, and protection. The pendant has been lovingly crafted out of 10 karat gold and has a high shine polished finish. This pendant is an heirloom quality piece that can be handed down for generations. Available in gleaming yellow gold, cool white gold, and romantic rose gold.
